and safety for intersections immediately adjacent to opportunity sites and develop recommendations for likely traffic control changes, turn restrictions, crosswalk locations. In addition to early assessments of these issues, Fehr & Peers will define future analyses that should be conducted to more fully assess these and other operational issues such as driveway locations, truck loading, and on-site pedestrian circulation. ^ Work Products:Draft Assets, Needs, and Opportunities Memorandum including graphic analysis summarizing the transportation and parking policy and regulatory assessment. Description of existing conditions for pedestrians, motor vehicles, transit and bicyclists, including level of service at the four key intersections (described above) and assessment of parking supply; Recommendations for accomplishing project goals while minimizing impacts to transportation and parking supply on the corridor; and Preliminary assessment of the impact of narrowing E 14th to three lanes in order to accommodate other modes of travel, including Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) and improvements to benefit pedestrians and bicyclists. This analysis would be conducted for the preferred development scenario. Task 3.4: Community Workshop #1 Public Kick-off Meeting (issues assessment) This Workshop will be conducted in an "Open House" format where the public can informally view plans and illustrations, ask questions, and post comments regarding the baseline analysis. The Open House will be hosted by the RAC and SAAC and will begin with a short presentation by members of the CD+A Team, the RAC, the SAAC, and/or City Staff. [Please note that this meeting will also serve as SAAC Meeting #3]. The Team recommends that representatives from AC Transit attend the Workshop to provide information to the community regarding the future BRT improvements in the corridor. The presentation will introduce Open House attendees to the project and the focus of the particular Open House (e.g., assets, needs, and opportunities). Following the presentation attendees will have the opportunity to look at work products and discuss them with planning team members one-on-one. "Post-its" are provided so that people can put their comments directly onto the drawings and other materials being presented; comment sheets with specific questions can also be provided. Following the informal session, the attendees will reconvene for a discussion of the comments heard during the informal session. The CD+A Team will lead the discussion and focus it on highlighting key points of consensus and issues that need further discussion or investigation as the project moves forward. Members of the community, such as business and property owners, employers, residents, area interest groups, and members of the City Council and Planning Commission will be invited. The City will be responsible for announcing the event to these groups.
